Movesets for Singles

What is a good competitive moveset for Flareon? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Sword/Shield Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Sword/Shield generation metagame.

Physical Sweeper Flareon (Guts)

Flareon is a stupendous Physical Sweeper. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Focus Sash helps protect Flareon from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Flame Orb will burn Flareon at the end of the turn which will activate Flareon's Guts ability. Use Detect or Protect to help guarantee the Orb activates on your first turn. With Guts, if Flareon is statused its attack is 1.5x; ignores burn halving physical damage. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction. Combine that with Guts to seriously give Flareon a sweet boost.

Physical Sweeper Flareon (Flash Fire)

Flareon is a marvelous Physical Sweeper. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power.

With Flash Fire, Flareon's fire attacks do 1.5x damage if hit by one fire move; fire immunity.
